Broughton Garage base
Samuel Sheldon Ltd has had a hard-working, dedicated team working in Broughton In Furness, completing a garage base to accommodate a pre-fabricated concrete garage.
This involved digging out, forming a stepped strip foundation, and then building a flat block around the perimeter.
The sub-base consisted of crushed compacted hardcore, sand blinding, a Visqueen damp proof membrane, and steel to reinforce the concrete slab.
The concrete slab consisted of a stepped foundation with a flat block construction which is more than substantial to suit the pre-fabricated concrete garage.
The work at St James School in Millom has been set up in accordance with health and safety standards to create a safer working environment for the personnel on site and to warn any passers-by of the dangers of a construction site.
The old conservatory and concrete slab have been removed to make way for the new raft foundation, which the structural engineer specified.
The pre-construction survey revealed asbestos on site, which had to be removed by a professional and licensed company.
Radon was also detected in the ground, so a radon sump and barrier must be installed under the new concrete slab per new building regulations.
